As you’ve ticked yourself as an Exclusive Author, you’ll probably want to disable the link from your profile that enable people to purchase it off your own website for $49.00

Can I sell unapproved themes on my own website?

If you’ve sold an item before it’s approved to ThemeForest as an exclusive author then you’re breaching the contract. You can only distribute a theme on ThemeForest as an exclusive author if it hasn’t been sold anywhere else.

It really comes down to what fonts you want to use, as I’m pretty sure they vary between font-face and Google Fonts. But I personally would go with Google, since their collection is really only the best of the best. Also it’s quicker to setup and doesn’t involve JS. I’m sure it’s a little more sound in terms of licensing and distribution via ThemeForest as well.

so whatever happened with http://wp-select.com/ you guys made a huge push when it was launched, now its almost disappeared its not even in the list of Envato site(on the left)? I haven’t dug but Im not sure theres even been any themes added

I had never actually heard of it until someone else mentioned it recently and wasn’t even aware that it was part of Envato. Kinda sad that they abandoned it. Maybe they decided to take some of the search features and work on implementing them into a new version of the marketplaces, so it deemed the wp-select site not needed?

There’s quite a lot of themes with sliders that support video as well as image functionality. Try searching in the “Corporate” and “Creative” categories under “WordPress” in the navigation.

It may help to search “slider” once you’re in a category in the search bar. Although I wouldn’t rely too heavily on that, as some authors may have a slider and not use the tag “slider” as a search reference for their theme.

All computers should have virus protection! I use Sophos on my MacBook Pro

I would beg to differ. I would say a great majority of viruses are paid to be created by anti-virus companies to get people using/buying their anti-virus software. If you’re smart, you simply use basic tools to locate and manually take care of viruses. That way you still protect yourself without funding the creation of more viruses.

I would suggest teaming up with a designer if you’re a developer wanting to work on selling themes. You’re always free to ask the author of the PSD file to convert it into a WP theme and give the author a percentage of profit.
